Employee Recognition Budgets, Without the Surprises

Matter publishes its pricing, starts paid plans at $1 per user per month, and the median reward redemption is $30. The weekly coin reset prevents the month-end point-dumping that blows up accrual-based budgets.
Finance & Procurement
Published pricing, a $30 median redemption, and a weekly reset that prevents point-dumping.

Points programs are liabilities in disguise

Accumulating-point platforms build a growing redemption liability and a month-end dumping pattern that makes spend spiky and hard to forecast. Matter's allowance resets weekly, so recognition stays frequent and spend stays smooth.

Redemptions skew small and frequent, a $30 median with 40% under $25, and the Free Forever plan means the pilot costs nothing.

Frequently asked questions

How do we forecast reward spend?

Use the rewards budget calculator to model coin settings, celebration budgets, and per-employee cost before committing.

Can we pay monthly?

Yes. Paid tiers offer monthly billing alongside annual pricing.

What does Matter cost?

Every workspace starts with a free 14-day trial of everything, no credit card required, then lands on the Free Forever plan. Paid plans start at $1 per user per month. Full details on the pricing page.

Can we switch from another recognition tool?

Yes. Matter converts existing point balances, migration is free on paid plans, and teams under 100 people typically switch in 1 to 2 days, under 1,000 in under a week. See alternatives and comparisons.

Already using another recognition tool?

Switching is a smaller project than it sounds. Your balances come with you, the migration is free on paid plans, and most teams are live within days. Historical kudos do not carry over, so you start with a clean feed and full balances.
